With a wooden frame subtract 1/16 of an inch from each measurement to allow for expansion and contraction of the wooden frame. Metal frames should be treated in the same way to ensure that the replacement glass fits snugly.

During a double-glazed window repair it is also possible that the seals between the glass panes could be damaged. This can lead to condensation or mist in the gap.

Foggy Windows

Over time, the window seal can shrink or perish. This is due to natural expansion and contraction when the window experiences different temperatures and weather conditions throughout the year.

Foggy windows are an indication of a failed airtight seal. This will allow humidity from the outside air to enter and build up between the glass panes creating a wet, frosted appearance that is difficult to wipe clean.

There are a few ways you can fix this issue without removing the double-glazing. One solution to this problem is to 'defog the window'. This can be accomplished by drilling tiny holes in the glass panes and injecting a cleaning agent. This is a temporary fix since the solution will only remove the fog, not replace the inert gases that are between the glass panes. It won't also replace any energy efficiency that's been lost due to the deterioration of seals.

You can also replace your insulated glare unit (IGU). This will give you new, clear and fog-free windows, in addition to restoring any lost energy efficiency. This will cost more than just fixing the IGU, but it is the most permanent solution.
